How to Be a REALLY COOL Funeral Director | FFFW 230
Wow- it might be time for us to see the dentist because we’ve reached issue 230! I’m actually writing this from Canada right now, so shout out to our Canadian readers. Y’all work in a tough profession and live in constant cold, all while risking the chance of getting whomped by a moose at any moment. Y’all are superheroes.
Anyway- let’s move on with the FFFW!
“The announcement that Facebook will delete live streams older than 30 days reveals a critical disconnect between platform policies and the reality of grief. Grief doesn’t follow a 30-day timeline. Our data shows 30% of funeral viewings happen after that 30-day window. For an average funeral home, that’s over 2,500 families annually who will seek comfort in a service recording only to find it gone. This should serve as a wake-up call for funeral professionals to invest in solutions where they maintain ownership and control of their content, rather than entrusting these precious memories to platforms with competing priorities.” – Shane White, CTO of MemoryShare

How To Connect With Gen-Z Employees
Most of the FFFW audience falls between Boomers and Millenials. Believe it or not, Millennials are no longer the young guns in the game. Right now, several Gen-Zers are starting to infiltrate the workplace. And like every generation, they have their own lingo. So, before you go talking to one of these whipper-snappers, I think you should read over this list of Gen-Z terms and how you can use them to seem really cool.
As we all know, nothing is cooler than someone trying to be relevant to young folks. That’s why I’m praying for an Elton John hip-hop record.

1) BUS – This is a term that means “good.” Gen-Z typically uses this for items such as food and snacks.
How to use it with a younger employee:
“Hey John. The family asked for sandwiches at their calling hours. Make sure you pick them up from the store. Taste one to make sure it’s bus.”
2) CAP – This means fake/deceiving. Gen-Zers use this when they don’t believe something.
How to use it with a younger employee:
“Our competitors say that we use cheap caskets- that’s cap. They just overcharge on theirs.”

3) GAS – This is used similarly to “bus.” Gen-Z is all about hype so they need a lot of words to express being excited about something.
How to use it with a younger employee:
“Did you see the Johnson family preplanned a traditional burial with our premium casket? That service is going to be gas!”
4) RIZZ – This term is short for charisma. You use this to describe a person or action that people would consider romantically desirable.
How to use it with a younger employee:
“Go and hold the doors for the service. Be nice to people but don’t try to rizz anybody up.”
5) STAN – Being a “Stan” means you’re a hardcore fan of something. This is a noun, but it can be turned into a verb by adding “ing” to create “Stanning.”
How to use it with a younger employee:
a) I’m a Batesville Stan; they make my favorite caskets.
b) Lately, I’ve been stanning over my new sweater vest.
So there you go. I encourage you to use these terms as much as possible around your younger employees/co-workers. They’ll be REALLY impressed and think that you’re REALLY cool.
